5-Methoxy-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-indole
Abstract
The title compound, C18H19NO4, was prepared as an indole derivative with possible antimitotic properties. The planes of the indole and trimethoxyphenyl rings make a dihedral angle of 45.35 (5)° with one another. In the crystal, molecules related by a twofold screw axis exhibit arene C—H...arene-π interactions which are 3.035 (1) Å in length.
